If someone can solve this nonsensical problem with hoses and water, there are BILLION$ to be made. It is always the same. Firefighters stringing out 50' and 100' hoses, over and under one another, FFs standing there ready to fight but WAITING for pressure, and so on. I don't have the answers, but these are problems awaiting solutions. Money to be made. Same with those thin plastic bags in the supermarket vegetable department that won't open. More money to be made. But I digress. 😐😐
